Rescue from Gilligan's Island and it's sequels. Official versions would be great. Not the PD garbage The Dollar Tree sells.

 

[Jonathan Peterson]

The Sins of Dorian Gray

I already mentioned this TV movie on the first page, but who does own the DVD rights to "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow"? Jeff Goldblum has a mid-season series, "Raines", coming up and this would be a good time for a tie-in. My taped VHS copy is really worned out on this one.

There are countless made for TV movies I'd love to see released on DVD. One I haven't seen mentioned in this thread is "The Night That Panicked America" from 1975 or '76. It was the story of the Mercury Theater broadcast of "War Of The Worlds" on the night before Halloween 1938.

FRIENDLY FIRE and FEAR ON TRIAL

 

[Qui-Gon John]

THE FIFTH MISSILE - (1986) - Robert Conrad, David Soul, Sam Waterston

 

[Bonnie*F]

Was looking though the upcoming releases over at DDD - some of the stuff being released ???!??!? Anyway, one title reminded me of a telefilm that I had forgotten that I would love to get ahold of:
I Heard the Owl Call My Name (1973) Tom Courtenay

I'll also second The Night That Panicked America (1975). I think the studio lost an opportunity to add that to the Collector's Edition of War of the Worlds - assuming that the same studio owns both items.

 

[Paul McElligott]

Another vote for that one.

Also:
Special Bulletin

Jack the Ripper - Michael Caine/Jane Seymour/Armand Assante

Day One - Story of the first atomic bomb with David Straithern as Oppenheimer and Brian Dennehy as General Groves. Superior in every way to Fat Man and Little Boy

Out of the Darkness - Martin Sheen as the detective who caught the Son of Sam killer.

Miniseries:
Noble House

Amerika - ABC's misguided but still entertaining "apology" for airing the "communist propoganda" known as The Day After.

The Rhinemann Exchange, based on the Robert Ludlum book.

Came out in '77, starred Steven Collins and Lauren Hutton IIRC.

Maybe have been a two parter (though I suppose that makes it a mini series and not a telefilm)

 

[Scott Hamilton]

We want the full version, this is a cut up leaving out so much stuff.

 

[nikkif99uk]

One thing I wish they could include that I'm so pissed they don't:

The original network Movie-of-the-Week animated intros. One of the casualties of the 1990s commercial increase, it's hard not to get the jingles stuck in your head, not to mention the animation that evokes the styles of their respective time periods.

 

[jonthemoonspinner]

I agree matthew, I loved the ABC Saturday Night Suspense Movie, with the red double lines of the letters starting out like rollercoaster tracks coming at the camera. The Best!! Also the ABC Sunday Night Movie, with the marquee lights. Even if the movie wasn't good, the openings were.

Our Son, the Matchmaker (1996)

Campus Confidential (2005)
